Wedgwood is one of the best known names in pottery, and certainly one
of the oldest of extant companies. Our description will be brief as the
company is so well documented.

Thomas Wedgwood set up a pottery in Burslem in 1656. In 1759 Josiah Wedgwood
established Josiah Wedgwood & Sons there, and ten years later moved
to new premises at nearby Etruria, the source of the clay.

Wedgwood is best known for 'Queensware' and its distinctive Jasperware.
In the twentieth century the company used highly competent designers; John
Skeaping, Harry Trethowan, Rex Whistler and the architect/designer Keith Murray are associated with the
name of Wedgwood, and Murray designed the new factory at Barlaston that
was commissioned in 1940.
